Victorian Department of Primary Industries

DPI was established in December 2002 after bringing together a number of areas from the former Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE). The Department promotes the sustainable development of primary industries for the benefit of all of Victoria. It is one of ten Victorian Government Departments and reports to the Victorian Minister for Agriculture and the Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources.

The Department supports the agriculture, fisheries, petroleum, minerals, energy and forest industries in Victoria. DPI uses a collaborative approach to influence improvements in industry performance and to encourage the adoption of new technologies and development practices. It does this by using its expertise in science and technology to provide information and advice on the use and management of resources. DPI also assists industries by running a range of community education and extension programs.
